C2 (1965) Engine Compartment Wire Harness Clip Rivets?

[James W.]

Does anyone know a source for the correct wiring harness clips and rivets that are used at the sides and the back of the engine compartment surround to hold the wiring harness clips?

Thanks,

James West

Here is an original and one from LI, they are close but not perfect. I would think one of the used part vendors would have originals if you want to go that route. The rivets look like standard aluminum pop rivets, that is what I have used. A couple of the additional clips added for the left hand battery cable were attached with hex head sheet metal screws on my 65 AOS car.

Helping a friend restore his car. I searched the internet by GM part number and found some NOS. But we did not purchase at the time, since friend bought some used ones from another NCRS guy. I would get part number from AIM and go on-line.

We used DR REBUILD standard aluminum rivets for most of the installs........they are very similar to originals used for all the Corvette body construction. On a few occasions we used rivets with a smaller head because it looked/fit better.
